    Was it formulated by a Pharmacist or did you get it from someplace else?

    EDIT: I just looked up your past posts. Apparently you sent for it through the mail, came up with your own formula, made your own determination about how many times a day it "should" be applied - ?

    You do say in the beginning that it hurts/burns so that is not a recent development.

    Did you add any other ingredients or are you using straight mono and water? When formulate by a Pharmacist, by prescription, other ingredients are blended so the concentration is not as strong and creams/softeners are included.

    You could very well be burning beyond the upper layer of your skin, causing the tightening.

    Wow! Been there done that.
    I thnk it was either the 2 tubes retin a or the alcohol that mde me burn. It could have been the herbal fairness cream. I don't know but I mixed another batch w/o the retin-a, alcohol & very little fairness cream. There was no burning. It's something you are mixing w/ the mono. Are you applying the cream over twice a day? Could be that.

    Where did you get it from? Are you sure you can trust this company and that the mono was pure?

    try to exfoliate 2x a day, do not rub to hard, invest in a good moisturizer for the face.
    I use mono 5% twice a day. My skin is dry for a week and after that my skin is soft.
    I saw result after the second time my skin became so dry. Old skin is very tough and stubborn.

    Do not mix your mono with retin a. Mix it with pure raw shea butter, hand sanitizer, a good moisturizer, aloe vera gel and a good sunblock lotion 30spf+. I was using it the second week now and it still feel dry but not burn. I only use once a day and only 5%.
